When you are in sales you should recognize there is always competition. A person wanting to sell their home has SEVERAL OPTIONS. Meeting with one realtor and agreeing to whatever that person believes is a fool's errand. You should have 2 or 3 realtors come to your home to evaluate your property. Sometimes, one of the realtors has a buyer lined up for your type of home and it will sell in one or two days. Sometimes, a realtor over estimates his/her ability and the home sits on the market for months. Some have been working the area for many years. While others are newbies. etc.... IMO, it is always wise to speak to several realtors.
